Happy Thanksgiving!

[tryit]

Who: Kate Bishop and anyone interested.
What: Celebrate Thanksgiving.
When: Thursday, November 29
Where: Kate's apartment (and the kitchen of Floor 6 of the Ground Building)
Summary: Earlier in the week, Kate put out an journal message inviting people to Thanksgiving. This is the result.
Rating: PG/PG-13

It wasn't until cooking experimentation two nights before at Sam and Simon's that Kate began to suspect that cooking a Thanksgiving dinner might be a whole lot harder than she had planned. Apparently, there was a relatively big difference between cooking just one dish for yourself and cooking enough to feed a horde.

At the end of the day, though, Kate finds herself pleased with the end result. The table she dragged into her apartment is set up against the wall to act as a buffet table. People ought to be willing to help themselves to whatever food they want. And there's definitely a decent spread, thanks in part mostly to her friends.



If there's one thing Kate Bishop is thankful for this year? It's having the people she has in her life.

[When Teddy showed up with Billy, it was with his hands (four hands, actually) full of bags of food and cooking essentials. It was easy to return the hug she gave them, shapeshifter and all. But once that was over with, he leaned over to kiss her cheek and told her that he'd be right back, holding up the bags to indicate what he was going to do.

And do, he will. Teddy spends all of his time pre-dinner in the kitchen, cooking all kinds of dishes, most of them at the same time. Delicious smells come wafting in, tempting its guests, and yet Teddy will shoo away anyone who comes in wanting a piece. He certainly wouldn't mind conversation, seeing how there are some lapses between waiting for something to cook and cool.

Otherwise, he'll spend his time holed up there. There might be one or two instances where he's caught staring a bit too long at his reflection with a frown on his face, but he snaps out of it quickly enough. He's fine, and this is a happy time, after all.]

[So much for doing most of the cooking herself. But as soon as Teddy walks in to the kitchen, she happily steps back. As it turns out, cooking a Thanksgiving dinner is a lot more difficult than she thought. What are friends for if not to save the day?

But Kate's still doing her best to help out and play hostess to any other guests who arrive early. So this really only makes it her fourth trip checking in on him so far this afternoon.]

How are things going in here?

[Teddy's working on a couple of dishes at once, made possible only by how he shifts two other arms to work on one while his primary two work on the other. When Kate comes in though, Teddy shifts the extra arms away, suddenly self-conscious about it, and lowers the heat on one so that it won't burn while he's got his attention away from it.]

Going okay. The turkey's a little more than half done, so I should have it out pretty soon.

[Despite his sudden shift, Teddy still looks happy to be here. This is Kate's Thanksgiving, and so she should see her friends and play the hostess rather than be stuck in the kitchen all day.]

[She manages to catch the arms right before he shifts them away and she can't help but smile a little. With Billy still so adamant about not using his powers, it's nice to see that the rule doesn't seem to apply to all of them.

Kate scratches at the back of her jaw thoughtfully, then nods.]

Y'know, if I had your talents, I could easily have done this myself.

[Teddy leans back against the counter, near the food so that he can keep an eye on it, and raises an eyebrow.]

And then you'd be stuck in here instead of out there with the people you invited.
